No, not quite.

You must first manually use the 'svn checkout' command to create the
working copy. This is where you use the URL. eg:

  svn checkout file:///var/production_repo/trunk/ /var/httpd

Once that is done, then you can use 'svn update' whenever you want to
update that working copy to the latest version (either manually or from
within a script):

  svn update /var/httpd

Note that the initial checkout will fail if you have files already in
/var/httpd (well, technically it'll only fail if you have clashing
files, ie. existing files with the same names as files in the
repository).
